Baekhyun debuted as a solo artist in July 2019, with City Lights, and has since released two extended plays in South Korea, both of which were commercially successful domestically and internationally.[3] His second extended play, Delight sold over 1,000,000 copies, making it the first South Korean soloist album to do so in 19 years, and one of the best-selling albums in South Korea.[4]

On November 10, 2020, Baekhyun announced his Japanese debut through a short video message which was uploaded to Exo's official Japanese Twitter account.[5] Following the announcement, Avex revealed the album covers and tracklist. The album was released in a total of six editions: five CDs and one CD+DVD. Pre-orders for the first press limited edition began on the same day.[6] The music video for lead single "Get You Alone" premiered on Baekhyun's concert Baekhyun: Light on January 3, 2021.[7] The next day, the single was released along with its music video.[8][9]
